In honor of Larry Legend’s 60th birthday, we dug out some video of his 60-point game — which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year — floating around the Internet.

John Sterling, then the radio broadcaster for the Atlanta Hawks, described what it was like watching Bird shoot that day.

“In the old days, you were so much in the game,” Sterling recalled in an oral history done by Boston.com last year for the anniversary. “I was sitting at the table right there next to the Hawks bench. He was making shots from our microphone, one unbelievable shot after another. You know that modern term, heat-check? Larry might have invented the heat-check that night.”

Not only did Bird invent the heat check that night, but he might have invented trolling, too.

“He told us at halftime that nobody could stop him so just give him the ball and get out of the way,” Hall of Famer and former teammate Robert Parish told Boston.com. “Then he went out and started taunting the Atlanta players on the floor, the ones on the bench, their coaches, even the referees. He was talking so much trash he was buried in it. It was one of those nights when he could have drop-kicked the ball in. I loved it.”

But it didn’t stop there. After the game, according to Boston.com, the Hawks players went out to a club. Shortly after arriving, reserve Hawks player Cliff Levingston called over the waiter, who brought over a bottle of champagne to Dominique Wilkins — who was torched by Bird for most of the game — with a note: “Thanks. From Larry,” it read.

The champagne and the note would have been one thing, but actually getting a Hawks player to initiate it all? That’s some next-level stuff.

Incredibly, Bird scored 33 points in his final 14 minutes on the court, which included scoring Boston’s final 18 points of the game and a buzzer-beating jumper to reach 60.

The Boston Celtics might need a little magic to pull off a convincing win Wednesday night in Orlando.

Boston will be without All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas, who told reporters Tuesday he suffered a groin injury during the second quarter of Monday night’s loss to the Houston Rockets.

Thomas hoped he would feel better in time for Wednesday’s when speaking with reporters Tuesday morning, but C’s coach Brad Stevens revealed Wednesday that Thomas was sent home Tuesday night due to the injury and will not play Wednesday’s road game against the Orlando Magic.

“It’s an injury to be (wary) of because it can hamper you,” Stevens said of Thomas’ injury, via the Celtics’ Twitter account. “Groin strains are a little unpredictable.”

There’s no official word on whether Thomas will play Friday night when the Celtics return home to host the defending Atlantic Division champion Toronto Raptors.

Thomas is averaging 26.0 points per game this season, tied for second-most in the Eastern Conference.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in fantasy football, it’s that the order in which players are drafted in August are never exactly the order in which you’d take them again at the end of the season.

Some players, like DeAndre Hopkins, Todd Gurley and Gary Barnidge, are total busts. Others, like Marcus Mariota and DeMarco Murray, are pleasant surprises.

In that spirit, we took a look back at 32 of the biggest busts and pleasant surprises of the 2016 fantasy football season.

1. Marcus Mariota, QB: SurpriseThe Tennessee Titans signal caller probably made a roster in your league as a fringe starter or a backup, but it wouldn’t be surprising if you dropped him after a miserable first few weeks. From Weeks 3-12, Mariota actually was the highest-scoring quarterback in fantasy, and he’s currently fourth overall.

2. DeAndre Hopkins, WR:BustIf Hopkins can put up ludicrous fantasy numbers with T.J. Yates, Ryan Mallett, Case Keenum and Brian Hoyer throwing him passes, he’ll certainly be a stud with a great young quarterback like Brock Osweiler throwing to him in Bill O’Brien’s system, right? Sigh.

3-4. DeMarco Murray and Melvin Gordon: Surprise
Murray looks like the DeMarco of old, when he was running behind the best offensive line in football with the Dallas Cowboys. We actually predicted a subpar year for Murray, but to our surprise, he’s stayed healthy and extremely productive in a run-heavy Titans offense. Gordon has gone from 600-plus yards and zero touchdowns to nearly 1,000 yards and 12 TDs through Week 14.

5-8. Todd Gurley, Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles and Arian Foster, RB: BustWe had visions of Gurley running our teams all the way to that championship trophy, which he did for many of squads last season. His 2016 campaign of 679 rushing yards and four touchdowns has been a letdown, at best, compared to his 2015 numbers: 1,106 yards and 10 TDs. Peterson’s incredible injury history finally caught up to him at age 31 and for once came early in the season instead of late, Charles’ second ACL tear caught up to him in his age 29 season, and Foster’s body just gave up and forced him to retire not even midway through Year 1 in Miami.

9-10. Ezekiel Elliott and David Johnson, RB: Surprise
If you looked at Zeke and DJ in August and thought there were safer options for a first-round pick, you weren’t alone. We didn’t quite know what Johnson was — a kick returner with RB2 upside? A flash-in-the-pan that wouldn’t live up to the hype? –and we’d seen his type go in the first round and fail before (looking at you, C.J. Anderson). And Elliott, well, he’s a rookie, and the Cowboys might’ve split carries between him and Alfred Morris. Johnson has over 1,700 rushing and receiving yards and 15 total touchdowns, while Elliott has roughly 1,600 total yards and 13 TDs. Whoops.

11-14. Will Fuller, Tyler Boyd, Corey Coleman, Laquon Treadwell and any other rookie WR not named Michael Thomas: Bust
For all the preseason hype, Fuller had two good weeks, Boyd had been buried behind A.J. Green and others in the Bengals’ offense until Green’s recent injury, Coleman broke his hand, and does Treadwell even play in the NFL?

15. Michael Thomas, WR, Saints: Surprise
He somehow flew under the radar for a while but is currently the ninth-ranked wide receiver in PPR formats, catching 69 passes for 831 yards and seven touchdowns so far.

16. Davante Adams, WR, Packers: Surprise
True story: I dropped Adams after a two-catch, 34-yard performance in Week 6 in which he was concussed. The Green Bay Packers were playing on Thursday in Week 7 and Aaron Rodgers hadn’t looked very good. Adams was a surprise active hours after I dropped him, he put up 13 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns against the Chicago Bears and I lost that week. Adams has been pretty good ever since, averaging 18.4 points per game in PPR formats.

17-19. Rob Gronkowski, Gary Barnidge and Coby Fleener, TE: Bust
Gronk probably went in the first two rounds of your draft, Barnidge was drafted as a starter, and someone definitely took Fleener as their starter expecting him to be the next Jimmy Graham in New Orleans. Whoops.

20-23. Jay Ajayi, Spencer Ware, Tim Hightower and other handcuffs, RB: SurpriseCall it the year of the handcuff. With so many injuries, guys like Ajayi, Ware and Hightower have shined, as did D’Angelo Williams for three weeks while Le’Veon Bell was suspended.

24-27. Jaguars pass catchers: Bust
We should’ve known better than to trust the Jaguars. Blake Bortles has regressed and isn’t really close to the top-five fantasy quarterback he was last season, rendering Allen Hurns, Julius Thomas and Chris Ivory fairly useless. Allen Robinson, who was drafted as a WR1, has been relegated to fringe-flex duty for most of the season.

28-32.Dak Prescott, Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford and other late QB picks: Surprise
Everyone always tells you to wait on a QB, but it’s just so damn tempting to pick up Cam Newton in the second round. Meanwhile, Ryan (third), Kirk Cousins (fifth), Derek Carr (seventh), Prescott (eighth) and Stafford (ninth) all are top 10 fantasy QBs this season.

Former Heisman Trophy winner Rashaan Salaam was found dead in Boulder, Colo., on Monday night. He was 42.

Boulder police said they did not believe foul play was involved, according to the Colorado University Athletics website.

Salaam won the 1994 Heisman Trophy after leading Colorado to an 11-1 record and a victory over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl, ultimately ending the season ranked third in the nation. He was drafted by the Chicago Bears as the 21st overall pick in 1995 and posted 1,074 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, becoming the youngest player ever to have a 1,000-plus-yard rushing season.

Salaam struggled with fumbles, totaling nine in his rookie year and five over the next two seasons in limited action. That, combined with injuries and struggles with marijuana use, led to him being out of the league after just three seasons. He finished his NFL career with 1,684 rushing yards and 14 total touchdowns.

“This is a sad day for the entire university community as we mourn Rashaan’s death,” Colorado University Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano said in a statement. “Rashaan will be remembered as one of the greatest football players to ever wear a Buffs uniform, and his 1994 Heisman Trophy brought great prestige and honor to the university. We send our deepest condolences to his family and friends.”

Chris Sale wanted to play for the Chicago White Sox forever, and he said as much during a visit to Fenway Park last June. It could’ve been baseball’s equivalent to a romantic love story, but sometimes the knight in shining armor isn’t quite who you expect.

“I’m right where I want to be. I plan on being here forever,” Sale told the Boston Herald’s Evan Drellich in June. “So I mean, I don’t think they would trade me. I would hope not.

“I mean, at the end of the day, it’s a business. I understand you got to do what you got to do, what’s best for the team and what not. I have a hard time believing that I would be traded, and I really don’t want to (be).”

Sale was drafted by the White Sox in 2010 as the 13th overall selection — he previously was selection by the Colorado Rockies out of high school in 2007 before opting to go to college — and made his major league debut later that season. Aside from Sale’s very brief stint in the minor leagues, Chicago really had been his only professional home.

But then a few incidents in 2016 made pundits believe the White Sox actually could consider trading the star. In March, Sale publicly accused White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams of lying to players after the sudden retirement of first baseman Adam LaRoche. And in July, one month after his comments to the Herald, Sale had a confrontation with manager Robin Ventura, which led to the former cutting up throwback jerseys his team was supposed to wear that night and ultimately being suspended five games.

Sale stood by his July decision but doubled down on his desire to stay in Chicago with the White Sox in his first public comments after the incident. He did, however, leave the door open, admitting at the time that he no longer knew how his actions would affect the White Sox’s plans.

“I want to win a championship in Chicago. That’s been my goal from Day 1,” Sale told MLB.com’s Scott Merkin. “It has never changed. I only get more passionate about it because I know that it’s not easy winning a championship. There’s a lot that goes into it.

“Our main focus should be winning. … I don’t think I would be traded. I don’t know for sure. I don’t know what they are thinking now or what’s going on.”

Apparently the White Sox, who had playoff aspirations to begin last season, decided it was time to move on from Sale or that Boston’s reported offer centering on Yoan Moncada (the No. 1 prospect in baseball) and flame-throwing right-handed pitching prospect Michael Kopech was too good to pass up.

Sometimes, forever ends early. Sale’s departure from the White Sox is not a fairy-tale ending by any means, but it’s one the Red Sox certainly hope can become a memorable story of its own at Fenway Park in years to come.

UPDATE (7:55 p.m. ET): A Sacramento Kings spokesperson passed on a team statement on the Matt Barnes/DeMarcus Cousins incident, telling NESN.com, “We have clear standards of conduct and behavior expected of the entire Kings organization — on and off the court. We are working with all parties involved to gather information in order to take any appropriate next steps.”

Original story (12:45 p.m. ET): DeMarcus Cousins’ trade value probably just took a hit, but the internet is now getting an inside look at why so many NBA teams are hesitant to trade for him.

The Sacramento Kings’ All-NBA center was involved in an altercation that included teammate Matt Barnes while the two were out at Avenue Nightclub in New York following Sacramento’s loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday at Madison Square Garden, TMZ Sports reported.

The entertainment and gossip site obtained video of Cousins and Barnes outside the club, in which Cousins braggadociously complains about his hand being sore because he claims he punched someone who was choking Barnes. Cousins is seen rubbing and holding his right hand in the video.

Additionally, TMZ reports that New York police are “investigating and looking for” Barnes, investigating claims Barnes choked a woman at the club early Monday morning.

“Law enforcement sources tell us cops got a 911 call to Avenue Nightclub after midnight, reporting a man assaulting two women and another man,” TMZ reported Monday. “We’re told things got physical when Barnes allegedly choked one woman during an argument — and when 2 other people tried to intervene … he punched both of them.”

The specifics of Cousins’ involvement are unknown aside from what he can be heard saying in the video.

In a new TMZ report, however, Barnes swears his innocence with a completely different account of the events. He claims he was attacked and any violent actions came in self-defense. His attorney told TMZ, “We do not believe a crime was committed and are hopeful no charges will be pressed.” Cousins reportedly came to Barnes’ defense, too.

Barnes has been involved in violent incidents in the past, most notably last year when he confronted then-New York Knicks coach Derek Fisher, who was dating Barnes’ estranged wife, Gloria Govan. He also previously faced domestic violence charges that were later dropped, as SB Nation points out.

Fair or not, the incident doesn’t paint a very good picture of either player and won’t unless Barnes’ side of the story plays out and turns out to be true.

Amar’e Stoudemire’s body couldn’t keep up with the grind of an NBA season anymore, so the six-time All-Star retired over the summer.

But at just 34 years old, Stoudemire still has some basketball left in him, so he joined Hapoel Jerusalem — a team in which he holds a significant ownership stake — in the Israeli Basketball Premier League.

If we needed any further indication his body hasn’t completely broken down, this play in which he retaliated against a previous hard foul by setting an extremely hard pick seems to do the trick.

Apparently Amare Stoudemire plays in Israel now and opposing teams always cheap shot/ foul him bc he’s huge so he just went and did this. pic.twitter.com/tCDloh5G02

All right, let’s be honest: That’s not even a pick — it’s a full-on pancake block straight out of an NFL lineman’s playbook.

The alleged previous “hard” foul on Stoudemire, which Uproxx captured in GIF form, wasn’t even all that serious, but Stoudemire reportedly has been getting a hard time from referees in the IBPL, so it looks like he wanted to send a message to the next guy who decides to pick on him for his size.

Could Conor McGregor be the latest man to try to take the Iron Throne?

The 28-year-old UFC star — who in November became the only simultaneous dualweight champion the promotion has ever had — reportedly is in talks to appear on HBO’s extremely popular show, “Game of Thrones.”

“It’s been agreed that McGregor will appear in one of the remaining two seasons of Game of Thrones,” sources told The Sunday Life, as transcribed by Metro. “He was headhunted as it were by HBO, as one of the ‘Game of Thrones’ directors is a huge UFC fan. They believed that he would be a perfect fit for the show.”

There are a number of interesting factors playing into this McGregor rumor. First, the show shoots a bulk of scenes in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which geographically makes a lot of sense for the Irishman’s busy schedule. McGregor also said after his UFC 205 victory that he’d likely take some time away from the Octagon, though he also revealed his girlfriend is pregnant with the couple’s first child which is a probably a big reason for the time off.

Additionally, McGregor has sparred with “GoT” actor Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson — who plays the menacing beast of a man known as “The Mountain” on the show — in the past, so there’s a working relationship. McGregor also recently appeared in the latest “Call of Duty” game with Kit Harrington, who plays Jon Snow on “Thrones.”

Of course, no one really knows McGregor’s actual plans, and he certainly has a flair for the dramatic. In the last year alone, he’s feigned retirement, was heavily rumored to be at least making an appearance with WWE, and he recently received his boxing license after rumors of a fight with Floyd Mayweather have swirled for the better part of 2016.

So what does this all mean? Well, feel free to get excited about this potential McGregor cameo — especially if you’re a big “Game of Thrones” fan.

But until we have confirmation of this extravagant rumor, take the wise words of Ygritte to heart: You know nothing.

Could there be a homecoming next season for DeSean Jackson and the Philadelphia Eagles?

It’s no secret that the Eagles reportedly have been looking for wide receiver help all season for young quarterback Carson Wentz, and it appears Jackson could be a perfect fit — so much so that they’ll make a “strong push” for his services in free agency, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

“The Philadelphia Eagles are likely to pursue a reunion with Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson during the offseason,” Schefter reported Sunday, citing sources. “Multiple teams believe that Jackson, who will be an unrestricted free agent after the season, could return to Philadelphia. The Eagles would benefit from the addition of a speedy deep threat, and Jackson and Eagles coach Doug Pederson are big admirers of each other, sources said.”

Jackson’s departure in free agency was part of the Chip Kelly regime changes and never has sat well with Eagles fans, who loved Jackson during his first six seasons in the league.

Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks voiced his displeasure with a zero catch, zero target game in Week 12 — a game in which the rest of his teammates saw plenty of action in a 49-21 blowout of the Los Angeles Rams.

And while it’s understandable — he’s a former first-round pick and arguably New Orleans’ most talented wide receiver — it’s that criticism that reportedly has some team officials wondering whether Cooks is a good fit in their system.

“Cooks’ frustration with his role in the offense led some to wonder if this is the best system for his talents, something the Saints likely will explore in the offseason,” NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport wrote Sunday. “Expect trade talks centered around Cooks leading up to the free-agency window, with the speedster no doubt set to draw interest.”

Rapoport adds that the situation could be similar to that of former Saints tight end Jimmy Graham, who was traded to the Seattle Seahawks amid to a contract dispute. But that’s not the only problem.

“For Cooks, it might be because of his impeding contract, as well as the fact that the team seems to have found receivers such as Willie Snead and breakout star Michael Thomas who better fit what they do,” Rapoport wrote. “It’s a tricky situation, made more difficult by Cooks’ close relationship with Brees. But the fact that the Saints, the No. 1 offense, scored 49 points without him catching a ball last week might contribute to what should be a very interesting offseason.”

Plenty of teams likely will be interested in Cooks, though Rapoport didn’t specify any one of them. But the Philadelphia Eagles are a perfect example of a team that has repeatedly looked for wide-receiver talent to whom rookie quarterback Carson Wentz can throw.

So while it might be a slight overreaction by the Saints to move the talented, young Cooks, there certainly shouldn’t be a shortage of suitors contending for his services.

11:45 a.m.: ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio reports that Dolphins receiver DeVante Parker was grimacing when he went on to the field earlier for warmups and that his back is still stiff, but that he begged to play in the game and therefore was a surprise active.

In other news, Jordan Matthews, Eddie Royal and Marvin Jones all are officially inactive Sunday.

9:20 a.m.: While the Dolphins are getting reinforcements with two offensive linemen back, they still will be without center Mike Pouncey, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, reporting on “NFL Insiders.”

Schefter added this nugget, which is important for Jay Ajayi owners to be aware of: With Pouncey in the lineup, Ajayi averages 6.0 yards per carry. Without him, just 3.8. That’s a huge disparity.

8:30 a.m.: Week 13 of the NFL season is upon us, which for many people means the fantasy football playoffs have begun.

We’ll keep you updated here throughout the day with all the latest news on who’s playing, how much, who’s getting hurt and more.

Here’s a look at what’s expected to happen Sunday.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones is still questionable to play this afternoon, but his status doesn’t appear promising.

Lions want to see how WR Marvin Jones feels before today's game before making decision on whether he's active. Looked better at practice Fri

For all the drama and chaos that conference championships created in the college football landscape, it has all (kind of) finally come to an end.

Here’s a look at who the College Football Playoff selection committee has chosen to participate in the playoff, in order of their seeding.

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Ohio State
4. Washington

That means Washington will play Alabama and Ohio State will play Clemson in the national semifinal games.

Ultimately, Ohio State’s only “punishment” for not playing in the Big Ten Conference Championship Game was to fall from No. 2 to No. 3, but it’s really only a change on paper as they still play Clemson in the national semifinal.

But according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the extension doesn’t exactly mean Fisher’s job is safe. Here’s what Schefter had to say about the deal live on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown”:

“There were matching extensions given to the head coach, Jeff Fisher, and the general manager, Les Snead. Now don’t confuse the idea of a contract extension with job security. Often times, teams put in tam options after a certain amount of time. So Jeff Fisher still has to prove that he’s worthy of being the coach of this team.

He does have the extension, these extensions were done at the start of the season. They were sitting a drawer. And again, contract extension should not be confused with job security.”

Schefter explained that the Rams felt it was important to not have Fisher feel like a lame duck sitting without an extension throughout the year, but didn’t want to give the impression that he was scot-free to have another poor season.

The consensus seems to be that Fisher has to finish the final five weeks of the 2016 season strong with rookie QB Jared Goff before any decisions about his future are made.

This is it, the time you’ve been waiting for all season: the fantasy football playoffs.

If you’re reading this, it probably means your team either has survived the regular season and advanced, or you’ve got one crucial regular-season matchup left in which you need a win to qualify. That means every decision is crucial and you’re diligently researching who to play.

That’s where we come in. Here’s a look at some of the players who present some of the most difficult roster decisions this week and what we think you should do about them.

STARTSTaylor Gabriel, WR, Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta’s third-year receiver recently burst onto the scene, catching 13 passes for 271 yards and four touchdowns in his last four games. He’s been consistent, too, finding the end zone in each of those four games, scoring a rushing touchdown in the one game he didn’t score a receiving touchdown.

Tyreek Hill, WR, Kansas City ChiefsSpeaking of bursting onto the scene, Hill has become a major staple in KC’s offense and arguably its most reliable receiver. He’s been targeted at nearly eight times per game over his last five games, scoring five touchdowns in that span, including a three-TD performance in Week 12. Especially in PPR leagues, Hill is no worse than a must-start flex option.

LeGarrette Blount, RB, New England PatriotsOnly seven teams have allowed more rushing yards to opposing running backs than L.A., but the Rams also are in the top half of the league with just seven rushing touchdowns allowed all season. Still, LeGarrette Blount has been a steamroller, and with the Patriots likely having a big enough lead to just run the ball and milk the clock, this matchup is juicy.

Colin Kaepernick, QB, San Francisco 49ersBelieve it or not, Kaep actually has played pretty well lately. He’s averaged 28 points per game in his last four contests and has a pretty good matchup against the Chicago Bears this week.

Eric Ebron, TE, Detroit Lions
He’s been too important of a piece to the puzzle in Detroit to continuously be left out to the degree he was on Thanksgiving. The Saints have struggled against tight ends recently, so this could be a nice bounceback game.

Michael Thomas, Wide Receiver, New Orleans Saints
Brandin Cooks didn’t even receive a target in Week 12, while Michael Thomas has evolved into a borderline WR1 in NOLA. We’d be hard-pressed to bench Brandin Cooks (though we’d consider benching Willie Snead), and we won’t recommend doing it against the Lions. But if we’re picking one Saints receiver to start, it’s Michael Thomas.

Andrew Luck, QB, Indianapolis Colts
Despite a terrible offensive line and a bad defense, Andrew Luck has managed to play at an elite level this season. He’s been cleared to return to action after missing Week 12 in the NFL’s concussion protocol, and you should start him in confidence with him back under center.

SITSMartellus Bennett, TE, Patriots
Bennett has been playing through an ankle injury, and the Patriots have shown a willingness to go with a three-wide receiver, two-running back set with James White and Dion Lewis in the backfield and confuse defenses with crossing patterns and slants to get guys like Malcolm Mitchell, Chris Hogan, Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola open as well.

Matt Asiata, RB, Minnesota VikingsYes, Asiata has scored in three straight games, but he hasn’t tallied over 27 yards in any of those contests. He’s a touchdown-reliant player, and the Cowboys have only allowed 784 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs this season.

Marvin Jones, WR, Detroit LionsIn his last three games, Jones has just six catches and 74 receiving yards … total. Look elsewhere.

Todd Gurley, RB, Los Angeles Rams
Maybe this is sacrilegious, but Todd Gurley just isn’t good this year. Maybe he’s checked out on a losing team. Maybe he’s hit a sophomore wall. Maybe his offensive line is simply terrible and it’s not really his fault. But Gurley is averaging just 3.2 yards per carry and only has scored in three games this season.

Mike Wallace, WR, Baltimore Ravens
The Miami Dolphins have been fairly stingy against opposing receivers this season, allowing just 11 touchdowns, ranking in the top half of the league, but closer to the middle of that pack than the top. Wallace is boom or bust and hasn’t caught more than five passes, gained more than 62 yards or scored since Week 9.

Devontae Booker, RB, Denver BroncosBooker has trended toward breaking out the past two weeks, with 24 rushes for over 70 yards and a few catches in each. But he hasn’t found the end zone since Week 8, he’s never hit 90 yards in a game, and Jacksonville’s defense actually has been pretty good lately.

Fantasy football defenses can make or break your week, and while it’s important to ensure you don’t have a D/ST unit that gives you negative points, it doesn’t hurt having a breakout performance from an unexpected source.

That said, here’s which defenses we think you must start in your Week 13 fantasy lineups.

Seattle Seahawks (vs. Carolina Panthers)
The Seahawks could see the return of defensive end Michael Bennett and safety Earl Thomas, which is bad news for Cam Newton and the Panthers’ offense, who have to travel across the country and play in front of the 12s at CenturyLink field.

Philadelphia Eagles (at Cincinnati Bengals)
The Eagles have been a surprise on defense this season, and they’ll get a struggling Bengals squad without A.J. Green or Giovani Bernard and a banged-up Jeremy Hill.

New England Patriots (vs. Los Angeles Rams)
The Rams have the worst offense in football, a rookie quarterback under center and are traveling across the country to face the Patriots in Gillette Stadium. This is a pretty safe play.

Denver Broncos (vs. Jacksonville Jaguars)Even at home, we can’t see Blake Bortles and Jacksonville’s bottom-seven offense performing well against Von Miller and the Broncos’ defense.

Washington Redskins (at Arizona Cardinals)
We’ve been bullish on Washington’s D all season, which is why we think that, even traveling across the country, the Redskins have what it takes to put forth a solid fantasy performance against a Cardinals offense that has allowed four of its last five opponents to score in double figures.

Boston’s biggest weaknesses (besides needing another star scorer besides Isaiah Thomas) come less than five feet away from the hoop: rebounding, shot blocking and in-the-paint defense. The Celtics have been rumored to be asking for nearly every player under the sun, but one name that has been tossed around quite a bit is Nerlens Noel, the former sixth overall pick of the Philadelphia 76ers.

“I would give up one of those draft picks for him, that’s for sure,” Gorman said Wednesday morning in a radio appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Toucher and Rich.” “I wouldn’t package one of those draft picks necessarily with anyone who’s on the Celtics roster right now to get him. But let’s say that pick that we can swap with Brooklyn? I’d trade that for Noel, sure.

“I mean there’s some questions — I like Nerlens, he’s a nice kid and he’s got New England ties. And the strength of his game is what Boston could use right now, which is a rim protector and shot blocker. He’s a little bit of damaged good, so that’s up to the doctors to declare whether or not he can get back to a hundred percent, but yeah I would definitely look at Nerlens Noel as a possibility for this team. Again, I think chemistry wise, I know him a little bit and he seems like a really good kid. So I think he’d fit in the locker room well, as opposed to the guy who’s coming in for Sacramento on Friday.”

Gorman, of course, is referring to Kings center DeMarcus Cousins in that last line, another play the C’s would instantly give up that 2017 Brooklyn Nets pick for, though he’d undoubtedly cost them much more than that.

As for Noel, Gorman isn’t wrong to say that he’d likely fit perfectly both on and off the court in Boston. But the idea of sending the 2017 Nets pick for him is probably — or at least should be — a stretch.

Say what you will about Boston’s assets being overrated and no one wanting to trade with Danny Ainge. The eight draft picks he made last summer certainly would help your cause. But Gorman was on to something when he said Noel was damaged goods. The 22-year-old Malden, Mass., native missed his rookie season due to a torn ACL and has battled injuries since. He has yet to play this season.

Plus, the 2017 draft is loaded — we know you think you hear that every year — with top-flight talent, and Noel will be a restricted free agent with a somewhat expensive price tag this offseason. That pick alone is too much to give up for so much uncertainty.

Then again, the only certain thing with this C’s roster right now is its uncertainty going forward, so nothing is out of the realm of possibility.

Sometimes you just need a nap, and when that nap doesn’t happen, all hell breaks loose.

Usually that “you” is a toddler, young child or stressed-out college student, but we’re going to venture to say that Andrew Shaw probably missed his afternoon sleepy time Tuesday.

With the Montreal Canadiens mounting a comeback in Anaheim at the end of regulation, Shaw was called for a questionable hooking penalty that negated the man advantage his team had. When he entered the penalty box, he had the temper tantrum to end all temper tantrums, smashing his stick into several pieces and repeatedly berating the referee with some special four-letter words.

The Ducks won the game, 2-1, and Shaw received a game misconduct and could even have a fine coming his way. He finished the game with a goal and a fight on his scorecard, too.

But on the bright side, Shaw got about 30 extra seconds he could put toward getting ready for bed, so this looks like a win-win all around.

What we’re about to tell you might come as a real surprise for Boston Celtics fans, so brace yourselves: Danny Ainge reportedly is trying to make a big trade.

Crazy, right?!

We’re joking, of course. Ainge didn’t earn the nickname “Trader Danny” for nothing, and he’s reportedly been calling on every major superstar he can think of since he took over as general manager and president of basketball operations of the Celtics.

So, truthfully, this latest piece of news from The Boston Herald’s Steve Bulpett should come as no surprise:

“From all indications speaking to team sources around the league, Danny Ainge is still after the major trades the C’s president of basketball operations knows are needed. And no doubt he’s loving each story calling the 2017 draft one of the deepest and most talent-laden in many years, understanding that such talk could raise the value of the Nets’ pick that can be theirs.

But while you know changes have to be coming, it might be helpful to begin preparing yourself to part with one or more players to whom you’re growing attached these days.

The roster as currently constituted doesn’t blend as well as the Celts would probably like, but that’s mainly a product of generally drafting the best player available without regard to role. The C’s have been in no position to do otherwise as they rebuild and gather assets they can either keep or develop for value in the marketplace.”

What’s arguably most interesting about this is the notion that the C’s apparently don’t like how the team is blending. If anything, it feels as though this group probably has overachieved, thanks largely in part to that blend.

But alas, they’ve underperformed through the first fifth of the season, and while injuries certainly can be blamed for a lot of that, management probably knows that this team’s ceiling is likely the Eastern Conference Finals barring some unforeseen luck or breakout.

Time is ticking on Boston’s ability to cash in on those terrific assets everyone talks so much about: There only are two Brooklyn Nets picks left, and those cheap, affordable contracts are getting closer to expiring by the day.

Brace yourselves for change, Celtics fans, because the real surprise likely will be what doesn’t happen instead of what does.

UPDATE (6:40 p.m. ET): Officials now say that 71 of the 77 passengers have died in a tragic plane crash Monday night near Medellín, Colombia. Brazilian soccer club Chapecoense was on the plane.

ORIGINAL STORY: There’s just something unsettling about seeing images of people, who now are dead, while they were still alive, but that’s exactly what social media has given us Tuesday morning.

In the wake of the Chapecoense soccer team’s plane crashing overnight, social media posts from players on the plane and team videos from the airport before boarding the flight have surfaced. They’re sad and eerie.

Here’s a look at some of the photos and videos that have surfaced since the crash:

These photos were pulled from player Alan Ruschel’s Snapchat account. He’s pictured below with goalkeeper Danilo. Both initially survived the crash, but Danilo later died in the hospital from his injuries.
